AR Rahman tells his wife ‘don’t speak in Hindi, speak in Tamil’ at award show. Clip goes viral

A video of Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman is being widely seen on social media. Actually, this video is from a public event. AR Rahman, the music composer of ‘Ponniyin Selvan 2’, comes on stage to receive the award with his wife and gives a speech. AR Rahman, speaking in Tamil, says that Saira watches his interview again so that he can tell him by noticing his mistake. After this, Rahman gives the microphone to his wife and asks her to speak in Tamil, not Hindi.



Saira starts feeling a bit embarrassed after hearing this from Rahman. At the same time, the audience present there laughs loudly. Saira says that her Tamil is not good, so she will now speak in English. Saira says, “Good evening to all of you. Sorry, I can’t speak the Tamil language properly. That’s why you should give me an excuse. I am very, very happy because his voice is my favourite. I fell in love with his voice. That’s all I can say.”


It is true that AR Rahman has worked in different languages in the film industry, but he has a different attachment to Tamil. The music composer walked off the stage at the launch of 99 Songs when Ehaan Bhatt questioned him in Hindi. Actually, Rahman co-wrote and produced 99 songs. During this time, the video of Ehaan and Rehman went viral. It was seen in the video that when Ehaan was asking questions in Hindi, Rahman uttered the word ‘Hindi’ in between, and he got down from the stage. Rahman later said that I had asked you whether you know Tamil language or not, but you did not understand.

However, Rahman was joking at that time. Talking about AR Rahman’s personal life, the music composer married Saira Banu in 1995. They have three children: Khatija, Amin, and Rahima. His daughter, Khatija Rehman, is more in discussion about her looks than her songs. Khateez always keeps her face covered with a mask. No one has seen his face to date. By the way, because of this, the singer is also trolling a lot.
